- Description
- Water plants create some of the most beautiful, bizarre and important habitats on earth. To hold on in torrents, plants use a kind of super-glue. Some are armed with vicious weapons to fight titanic battles for space. Others form perfect spheres and escape from animal enemies by rolling. Where nutrients are washed away, plants turn into hunters of animals, laying traps and even counting to ensure their success. Brilliantly-coloured flowers smother lakes and in one magical river in Brazil the water bubbles like champagne as plants create the atmosphere itself.
